Learning is Fun @ Soroban Education Centre

Kindle your child's love for numbers and turn him or her into a mathematical whiz-kid at Soroban Education Centre. Our centre not only cultivates success with numbers but also builds self-confidence in the child. Countless children who have gone through our programme have benefited tremendously in term of skill improvement in mental and abacus calculations. They have also developed analytical and reasoning skills important in other study-related areas. Besides excelling in mental and abacus calculation, this training will also heighten their concentration prowess and strengthen the children's ability to think critically and creatively on their own.

A Thank You Note

I am very honoured to have our Minister of Health, Mr Gan Kim Yong and Member of Parliament, Associate Professor Fatimah Lateef to grace the “Abacus Graduation Ceremony” of Friends of the Third Age (F3). Their presence has motivated the students tremendously. The guests visited our “Abacus” exhibition and were drawn to the “Imperial Sword” abacus. They have enjoyed themselves immensely while playing with it and were amazed with the interesting design of the abacus. As a token of appreciation to the guests for their encouragement, I gave them a book, which I have written, entitled, “Singapore Abacus Manual” and requested our guests to autograph it. During the gathering, I invited our two distinguished guests to join the elderly members in a time of drawing of the adorable “Garfield” with their signatures engraved on it. This caused the whole crowd to be excited. Some folks from the crowd actually shouted bidding prices as though it was an auction. This has caused an up roar from the crowd. Next, we invited MP Associate Professor Fatimah Lateef to give out certificates to the Mental Arithmetic graduating students. The graduation ceremony was a testimony to the hard work and efforts of the students for the past one term. I was very touched by that. I hope that the students would continue to work hard and continue to improve in the near future. 感言 我们深感荣幸能够得到卫生部长颜金勇先生与国会议员花蒂玛教授的莅临参观並为我们的松龄之友颁发並主持毕业典礼，给与学员们注入了精神上无比的加油及动力。 嘉宾们参观了我们的算盘之际，对＂上方宝剑＂算盘还真是爱不释手，玩耍得乐开了怀。更赞叹我们算盘的创作是何等的新奇有趣。作为回馈嘉宾的鼓励，我将个人著作之「新加坡算盘宝典」相赠並请嘉宾签名留言。 欢聚之际，我诚邀嘉宾与松龄学员一同现场挥豪，画出可爱有趣的＂茄菲猫並附加亲笔签名＂此举令全观众high翻天，更有人打趣的＂高价喊标＂场面十分欢欣。 接着是由我们的国会议会花蒂玛教授为我们的学员颁发心算证书。见证了这些学员这一学期的努力学习，终于有了成果，心里极为感动。希望接下来的日子能再接再厉更上一层楼。Phyilly Wong
